  • Does sweethome allow you to make plans in 2D?

    I think what you’re after isn’t technically 2D vs 3D but ‘Perspective View’ vs ‘Orthographic View’ (but tl;dr: no).

    Perspective view emulates your vision, but orthographic is what you would use for engineering / architecture drawings. Looking top down like this, for instance, in perspective view you can see both the top of the wall and the bottom of the wall (what’s shown), but in orthographic view those would appear as a single line like in architecture drawings.

    All that being said, I don’t think Sweet Home 3D can do orthographic views, though don’t have it in front of me to check.

    Not fitting into Capitalism has nothing to do with common ADHD traits such as lack of emotional regulation, time blindness, and our tendency towards risky behaviors.

    All of those traits generally make you a less predictable and harder to manage worker. Capitalism absolutely cares about those traits very significantly.

    I could be anything from an Mesopotamian King to a rider in the Mongol horde to a Medieval Peasant and my brain would still have the same damn problems.

    This is literally impossible to say. Your brain would still work similarly, but it would have been shaped by entirely different stimuli and environment, so it would not be working the same. It’s also entirely possible that those tendencies are beneficial in different historical contexts. Other systems like feudalism may also similarly view ADHD as a detriment, but that doesn’t mean that every system / context does.


  • I mean ~80% of the world’s population takes stimulants daily in the form of caffeine. Childhood ADHD rates are now at ~12%, and the testing criteria for ADHD revolves largely around whether it negatively impacts your life.

    If everyone else is increasingly taking stimulants for it and you’re not, then you’re more likely to feel negatively impacted since you’ll stand out, which is likely to increase the diagnosis rate further.

    I don’t think it’s unlikely that we see a world where like half the population has an ADHD diagnosis, and/or the treatment for ADHD (i.e. more effective stimulants then caffeine), become over the counter.

    Humans are literally Jack of All Trades. The big evolutionary advantage of brain power is that it lets animals adapt to new things in a single lifetime, rather than having to evolve adaptations to it over generations, and humans primary evolutionary advantage is our massive generalized brain power.

    Capitalism says to specialize, human nature says to be a jack of all trades.

    I assume this community will disagree strongly, but ADHD honestly does not seem like an actual disorder (as in, an objective detriment, and one that evolution would select against in the long term), so much as just our brains not being particularly suited to capitalism and capitalists gas lighting the masses into thinking that’s abnormal.


  • They couldn’t just make YouTube suddenly stop working.

    ffmpeg is published under the LGPL license, meaning that all of the published versions are free for anyone to use in anything, as long as they don’t modify the ffmpeg library.

    The only leverage they have over YouTube is that they could stop allowing YouTube to use future versions. That could create headaches for YouTube if it turns out there’s major security issues, since then YouTube will need to either solve them with a wrapper / sandbox around the library, or write their own library, but any existing versions in use will always be usable by YouTube.




  • I would really recommend fixing the wiring before investing any money in home automation.

    Don’t build advanced sensitive low voltage systems on top of shaky high voltage systems that can melt and destroy them. Not having enough outlets because of old shoddy wiring is inconvenient when you can’t plug stuff in and waste time running extension cords, it’s expensive because you end up buying that much copper to run extension cords, it’s expensive because shoddy wiring can easily fry electronics, and it’s tragic and expensive when it burns your house down.

    People over use blocking like crazy.

    I constantly see people blocking others just for making a point they disagree with. Rather than actually think through the logic and reasoning of what the other person is saying they go ‘oh I have no counter point to that, that must mean that you’re arguing in bad faith, blocked’.

    The internet is already an inherent filter bubble, you don’t need to accelerate that. Most people would benefit from spending more time deeply considering that they might be wrong in ways they can’t fully comprehend, then they would blocking people who fervently disagree with them.




  • Your assertion that more is conservative is a meaningless assertion in the context of this discussion.

    More can be conservative on average but you don’t see an average view of the internet, you see your filter bubble, and that source backs up the original assertion that yes, Russia is targeting leftists too.
